Every Day in June Is A Day To Observe Something Special

Well, we have made it to the 6th month of the year, and the month of June is filled with special observances from Donut Day, Ugliest Dog Day, Corn on the Cob Day, and Banana Splits Day to the Wicket World of Croquet Day. Some of these, of course, seem pretty silly, while others are completely worthwhile, like World Environment Day and National Day of Prayer for Law Enforcement Officers Day. So pick your favorite days and celebrate something special during the month of June.
